No matter what the challenge may be, automation can help.
The package includes raw power, heavy duty bending performance, improved technology, and all this at a low price.
A press brake is a machine that forms sheets of metal in long lengths. These sheets are often used in manufacturing or industrial applications. Most press brakes can be rated according to their metal pressing capacity and overall bending length. These numbers are expressed in numbers (e.g. total PPI, or pounds per inch). They can be found in many shapes and come with tools and accessories that allow for the creation of highly customized components. Two main types of press brakes are available: hydraulic and mechanical. We will discuss the differences and highlight the key features of each style in the sections that follow.
With our high-end precision presses brakes, the possibilities are endless. They feature better controls and more axes. Stable and reliable AC servo motor driven back gauge system, and outboard mounted long-ram guides (which allow full length between the frames for acute angle bend) are some of its features.
Our manual control presses brakes can be used in jobs and industries that do not require precision or detail like CNC controls. While the manual press brakes feature the same safety features as the CNC models, they are still powerful and easy to use for simple jobs. These include a front-operated powerback-gauge and adjustable ram with digital readouts. There are also fine adjustment handwheels that allow for both. Our models are available in a range of weights, from 22 tons up to 440 tons.
Warning: Incorrect tonnage (too low or too high) can cause damage to your press brake and the part you are bent. Refer to the operating manual for details on how to calculate the tonnage of the press brake.
Before choosing a press brake, you need to first identify the type of metal that you wish to bend (stainless, 16-gauge mild steel, etc.).
In addition to being industry-leading in production, our machines also come equipped with intuitive operator control that takes the stress out daily operation for operators of all skill levels.
Each Standard hydraulic press brake is thoroughly checked in Rockford, Illinois as part of our Perfect Machine Process.
The machine runs on a double-axis back gauge system. It can also perform automated bending step calculation. These servoelectric Press Brakes are precise and easy to use.
A Mitsubishi automatic tools changer (ATC), equipped with a press brake stands out in many ways.
This dual-drive hybrid makes short work of any project with long-term, high-speed, energy-efficient operation.
Standard currently makes the largest selection of hydraulic press-brakes on the market. We have 20 models in our ADR 5 Axis CNC Hydraulic Press Brake Series. They are small, up to 4 feet in length, and large, up to 20 feet in bending length. 7 different tonnages are available, ranging from 66 tons to 440 tonnes. Our ADS series, a premium and more advanced model, is available in 32 models. They can bend metal lengths from 6' 8" to 26' 5". Our ADS series machines have 13 different tonnages and can bend up to 3,300 tons. The PBF series is also available for customers that require a standard press brake. Another side of the coin are the advanced AD Servo Brakes that feature a hybrid hydraulic configuration with ball screws for quiet operation and energy efficiency. Standard is bringing to market the FBS-series, which is short for flexible bending solutions press brakes. FBS series brakes have a high tonnage and can be customized to fit customer's exact requirements. The brakes can also run tandem or trio press brakes.
Rare earth magnets can withstand pressures up to 9,000 lbs per square inch, but not for what you might think. The Internet has seen hydraulic presses crush things for a while.
Semi-trucks use compressed air for their brakes instead of hydraulic fluid. Semi-trucks have a lot of weight so they need air to brake.
Nearly all modern car crushers use hydraulic presses to crush cars. A pump pushes hydraulic fluid through large cylinders to power a large motor. Using principles of force-multiplication, a hydraulic system can generate over 2,000 psi and impart more than 150 tons of crushing force onto a pile of scrap cars.
Hydraulic brake failures are most common due to either loss of hydraulic pressure, or brake fade on steep hills.
Hydraulic presses can be expensive and eat up a large portion of machine shop budgets of all sizes. However, choosing the lowest-cost press can lead to higher long-term costs. These are some things to keep in mind when selecting your next hydraulic press.
